An internship is one of the best ways to acquire professional work experience in your field of interest. Cultural Embrace offers you the opportunity to obtain first-hand work experience and to immerse yourself in the local culture, while practicing your Spanish. Our goals are to improve your professional qualifications and to give you insight into the international work environment.

How do we do it? Our local coordinators have built a solid reputation in Argentina, and through their contacts and networks, they have found and continue to seek new internship opportunities according to the interests and needs of our participants. Internship placements are available in Buenos Aires in a wide variety of industries. Candidates are carefully selected based on their profiles and similarly, we recruit companies and organizations most suitable for you to develop your professional objectives. Examples of the fields that we have found internship placements for include but are but not limited to: administration, finance, marketing, hospitality and tourism, IT, architecture, engineering, social work, education, journalism, and media.

The minimum duration for this internship program is 4 weeks. You must have an intermediate level of Spanish or higher. You will have to take a proficiency test prior to your placement, and if you need additional lessons to get your language skills up to par, we are able to arrange additional Spanish classes to follow the week-long class that is already included in the program fee. Most internships are NOT paid due to visa regulations, however a bonus could be offered at the discretion of the company.  Check out our blogs about Interning abroad, to give you a better understanding of our programs and services. Or download Internship in Argentina's program details for more specific details.
